哥林多後書 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1我自己定了主意再到你們那裏去，必須大家沒有憂愁。
1So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.
2倘若我叫你們憂愁，除了我叫那憂愁的人以外，誰能叫我快樂呢？
2For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?
3我曾把這事寫給你們，恐怕我到的時候，應該叫我快樂的那些人，反倒叫我憂愁。我也深信，你們眾人都以我的快樂為自己的快樂。
3I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be saddened by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.
4我先前心裏難過痛苦，多多地流淚，寫信給你們，不是叫你們憂愁，乃是叫你們知道我格外地疼愛你們。
4For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.
5若有叫人憂愁的，他不但叫我憂愁，也是叫你們眾人有幾分憂愁。我說幾分，恐怕說得太重。
5Now if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me but all of you—to some degree, not to overstate it.
6這樣的人受了眾人的責罰也就夠了，
6The punishment imposed on him by the majority is sufficient for him.
7倒不如赦免他，安慰他，免得他憂愁太過，甚至沉淪了。
7So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8所以我勸你們，要向他顯出堅定不移的愛心來。
8Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
9為此我先前也寫信給你們，要試驗你們，看你們凡事順從不順從。
9My purpose in writing you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
10你們赦免誰，我也赦免誰。我若有所赦免的，是在基督面前為你們赦免的，
10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,
11免得撒但趁着機會勝過我們，因我們並非不曉得他的詭計。
11in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
12我從前為基督的福音到了 特羅亞 ，主也給我開了門。
12Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,
13那時，因為沒有遇見兄弟 提多 ，我心裏不安，便辭別那裏的人往 馬其頓 去了。
13I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.
14感謝上帝！常率領我們在基督裏誇勝，並藉着我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。
14But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
15因為我們在上帝面前，無論在得救的人身上或滅亡的人身上，都有基督馨香之氣。
15For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
16在這等人，就作了死的香氣叫他死；在那等人，就作了活的香氣叫他活。這事誰能當得起呢？
16To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
17我們不像那許多人，為利混亂上帝的道；乃是由於誠實，由於上帝，在上帝面前憑着基督講道。
17For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.
